This traveler only wants to choose the lowest difficulty

Chapter 74 Young man, the world is big

A gleam of hope flashed in Zhu Yunwen's eyes, but soon, the light went out.

Wang Dong's words just now slapped him in the face like a slap, and Zhu Yunwen finally admitted the failure that he had been unwilling to face.

Wang Dong is right, he knows that he is not a model of a king, he does not have those abilities, and he is nothing after leaving the throne of the emperor.

Zhu Yunwen sat on the ground, the excitement just now dissipated slowly, he suddenly laughed indifferently: "Wang Dong, I know you have ulterior motives, maybe you want to be Guo Ziyi, maybe you want to be Dong Zhuo, but I won't show up again. "

"Zhu Di won. He is rich all over the world, and all living beings in the world belong to him. I am not that stupid. I know that even if the sky rains down and the earth pours gold, I don't have the financial resources and manpower to fight with Zhu Di. I If you lose the world, so be it."

Wang Dong was stunned. It's not easy. Student Xiao Zhu actually learned to reflect on himself.

Wang Dong guessed that in the original history, Zhu Yunwen probably chose to escape to the mountains because he recognized these things clearly. He kept his name incognito and was not found by Zhu Di in the end.

But since he's here, Xiao Zhu probably won't have such a blessing.

Wang Dong suddenly burst out laughing.

"The whole world belongs to Zhu Di? Your tone is really loud."

Zhu Yunwen looked at him, Ye Xixian and Zhu Wengui also looked puzzled.

"Do you know how big the world is?"

Wang Dong's words made the three of them look at each other in dismay.

Zhu Yunwen also knew that the world was very big. The Mongols' Western Expedition in the Yuan Dynasty reached all the way to the territory of the Magyars. During this period, they traveled far beyond the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but what's the point?Want him to go to a foreign country to borrow troops to restore the country?Zhu Yunwen is not that ignorant. He knows that the Ming Dynasty is powerful. No country in the surrounding area can compare with the glorious Ming Dynasty. Borrowing troops to defeat the Ming Dynasty's army and restore the country is just a joke.

Wang Dong smiled and said, "Come with me."

Although he had no expectations for Wang Dong's proposal, Zhu Yunwen was still a little curious about what Wang Dong could say, so he followed Wang Dong indifferently.

Wang Dong walked into a dilapidated temple by the road, and the three of them followed suit. The temple had long been abandoned, and the hall was dilapidated. As soon as everyone entered, a group of rats ran away instantly.

The three of them wanted to see what Wang Dong could say, so they saw Wang Dong came to the almost overturned altar, swept the dirt on the table, and then took out a large sheet of paper from the Taoist robe.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the paper in amazement, only to see that the paper was different from ordinary rice paper, it was extremely shiny, and looked very high-end.And a huge elliptical circle was drawn on the paper, with red, green and green printed very fine patterns, and there were various lines and symbols. Zhu Yunwen looked at it for a long time and realized that it seemed to be some kind of map.

But he couldn't figure out how that kind of map would be drawn like this. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't help asking Wang Dongdao: "Where is this map?"

Wang Dong smiled and pointed to a small spot to the left of the center on the map, and said to Zhu Yunwen, "We are here."

The three of them looked along his fingers, and found that there was a small dot marked where he was pointing, and the word "Nanjing" was indeed written next to it.

Ye Xixian couldn't help being surprised when he saw that point, and couldn't help asking: "So small?"

He was not surprised why the capital was written as Nanjing first, but he was surprised that the size of Nanjing on the map was just a small dot, and on the entire map, the dots marked with red circles were the same as Nanjing. Go, at least a dozen.Do these points represent a city as big as the capital?So how many such big cities should there be in the world?
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but ask: "Are these cities in red circles as big as the capital?"

At this time, Zhu Yunwen also reacted. He looked at the big cities circled in red on the map, and thought that there are so many big countries in the world, so it might not be impossible to borrow troops to restore the country.

Hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Wang Dong couldn't help showing a look of contempt. He had such a big world in front of him, but he only wanted to borrow troops to restore the country. The situation was too small, brother.

Moreover, the big cities circled in red in this historical map were only the capitals and accompanying capitals of various countries at that time. For example, Paris, which was also circled in red, had a population of up to 30 at that time, an order of magnitude behind Nanjing.It can be said that looking at the entire world at this time, there are almost no countries that can compete with Daming in terms of book power.

Wang Dong directly circled the area of ​​China on the map with his finger, "This is probably Daming."

The three of them noticed the Ming Dynasty border marked on the map at this time, and they couldn't help being shocked.The huge Ming Dynasty is actually so small, it is only a part of the eastern part of the continent.

At this time, Wang Dong pointed to North America and said, "There are about 1000 million people on this continent."

Zhu Yunwen nodded. At this time, the population of Daming was only about 6000 million, and a population of 1000 million was considered a big country in his opinion.

But then Wang Dong said something that directly caught Zhu Yunwen's eyes: "Most of these people don't understand the language, they don't have writing, and they don't have a country. They are just a group of nomadic tribes."

Zhu Yunwen is not good at being emperor. That is compared with Zhu Di, but when it comes to decisive killings and cutting down vassals when he is in power, Xiao Zhu is obviously not a very moral person.Hearing Wang Dong's words, his heart moved instantly.

Zhu Yunwen tentatively asked: "If that's the case, this place is probably barren and grassy, ​​and there is no way to live, so why is it so uncivilized?"

"No, they are just isolated from the world and lack of communication, that's why they are like this." Wang Dong pointed to the Great Plains in the central part of the United States, "The river network here is densely covered, the vegetation is lush, and the land here is fertile and black. The plain stretches as far as the eye can see, and if the wasteland is reclaimed, it will not be a problem to feed the entire population of the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing Zhu Yunwen's eyes widen, Wang Dong smiled inwardly.Just kidding, the Great Plains in the central part of the United States is one of the three major black soil distribution areas in the world. This place once praised the United States as the world's largest grain producer, and it was not surpassed until China came from behind.However, compared with China's high-input and high-yield planting model, the central Great Plains of the United States are naturally suitable for mechanized large-scale planting. Various favorable geographical conditions can make agricultural workers in China at the same latitude envious. In this historical dimension, this place should be accepted by Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen and Ye Xixian couldn't help swallowing when they heard Wang Dong's words.

Then Wang Dong pointed to the Inca Empire in the south, "There is a country here with a population of about ten million, but they have no horses, no iron tools, or even wheels. The best soldiers are only equipped with bronze weapons and cloth armor."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up again, and then Wang Dong pointed to the Potosi silver mine in the United States, "There is a silver mine here. If it is mined, the annual silver output is probably equivalent to the sum of all the silver in the Ming Dynasty."

Ye Xixian was shocked. Although the Ming Dynasty had just begun to have a silver standard economy, it was already very short of silver. One can imagine the significance of having such a silver mine.

He couldn't help asking: "Equivalent to the sum of all the silver mines in Daming? How is it possible?"

Wang Dong looked at Ye Xixian, smiled and shook his head and said, "It's not the sum of all silver mines, but the sum of all silver. I'm talking about all the silver from the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present."

The three looked at Wang Dong at the same time, all of them couldn't believe it.

Then Wang Dong pointed to the vast land of North America, explaining the series of marks on it: "This is a gold mine, this is a silver mine, this is mercury, this is a forest farm, although this Pampas grassland is small in size, its The area of ​​the pastoral area is larger than the entire Mongolian grassland south of the Gobi. If it is grazing, it is enough for tens of millions of people to eat dozens of catties of meat each year..."

After saying this, even Zhu Wengui, who was only eight years old, was stunned.
